What I wondered is what happens if Ginyu switches with Gotenks or Gogeta, when they defuse does his mind shatter or are there just two copies of Ginyu?

The fusions in general are treated as their own characters separate from their components. If it ever came up, I'd like to think Ginyu would be in control of the fused body and be non-existent anywhere else.

Also it would be funny.

Maybe he just swaps with one of them, so now Goten is in the body of Ginyu, and Ginyu is fused with Trunks.

I've asked about this before, and I think the only difference is supposed to be graphics. Details are vague as hell, though!

I ran through TeamFourStar's '24 greatest dragon ball moments' last night. Nothing too out of the blue about it. They seem to really not like the Buu Saga (I don't really blame them) while loving the Saiyan and Cell Sagas. Also a bit surprised by the lack of Freeza Saga moments. They also ignored the Red Ribbon Army arc completely and only gave a few moments to the Piccolo Sagas.

Pretty interesting list and didn't really see it get talked about in here. Very DBZ centric but they made sure to give DB some love too

Do we all agree on Goku's first SSJ transformation being the best moment in the series? It's pretty much the only example I can think of where the anime did a scene better than the manga. It all happens too quickly in the manga, it works a lot better being drawn out a bit.

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.

If I'm to pick one specific scene, probably. I think a lot of the Freeza fight leading up to that point is pretty dull though.

If I were to pick one specific fight, it'd be the Goku vs Vegeta fight. It's a fight with a lot of back and forth, where both sides are completely and utterly crushed by the end. Gohan is unconscious, Krillin can barely stand, Goku certainly can't stand, and Vegeta is practically crawling into his pod. Yaji-loving-robe dealt a decisive blow in the fight.

No. It's based on a one-shot that Toriyama wrote. Certain parts of the movie are slightly different, but the story is Trunks' actual, canonical backstory.

My pick for something of an underrated greatest moment is Vegeta's first SSJ appearance/Vegeta punking out 19 with ease.

I'd also rank the introduction of Cell way higher than they did. One of the few times DB ever managed to do horror.

Disappointed that, although they included Piccolo sacrificing himself for Gohan, they just kinda gloss over his return. Surely one of the best "gently caress YEAH" moments of Dragonball.

Is Bardock: The Father of Goku in the same situation? I'd like that to be canon as it was pretty tight. The first Bardock, not the awful rear end squeal with the Super Sayian Bardock and all the muppets.

No, Dragon Ball Minus contradicts it. Though Bardock flying up to confront Freeza is canon since Freeza remembers it in the manga.

If you're going to mention Dragon Ball Minus, you might as well dismiss the notion of "canon" entirely. You know, like Toriyama does. About his gag manga.

Ah, yes. Dragonball Minus. Where Toriyama decided Goku wasn't similar enough to Superman and just decided to steal his entire origin story while simultaneously undoing everything established about Saiyan culture in the process.
